Location: Washington | I am going to say Wicked Strong drawing the 20 hole has me wanting to throw him out of my exotics. AND I am not thrilled with Victors in Trouble in the 1. Makes you wonder what they were thinking when they named them, because it's coming into play. ROTFLMAO
The 456 are going to be breaking fast.......And Tapiture has spiked my interest since we know he likes the track. Lot's of studying/handicapping for me for the next few days!

Location: North Dakota -> Colorado | I am going to go with Wicked Strong, Tapiture, and Hopportunity. Those are my picks based on online examination, I will leave final judgement to when I see them before the race. |

Location: MD | I hate that Wicked Strong drew the 20 hole! A dear friend and former employee galloped for Centennial while in Middleburg and is now working for Jimmy, so because of the connections, I'll just be pulling for him even harder now. |

Location: Ky | There's a group of 10 of us going to Ellis park for the Derby. We go there every year. Had 8 seats reserved in the clubhouse and then wanted to add 2 on Monday. Had a hard time getting it done. If we didn't have a table every year we wouldn't have been able to get those extra 2 seats.
Means a large crowd this year.
I was a CC fan for a long time and still am. But now that he's everyone's number 1 the odds will be terrible. I'll still bet him but I'm looking for one with better odds now. I would like for that to be Ride On Curlin but the CB connection will drive bettors to him too. |

Sounds like a fantastic fun time.
CC might go off with better odds than we have seen in awhile, the draw was not kind to his threats, but I will not bet him at even. IMHO he is the one to beat. He can open and close fractions and even if it not the distance most want, he has opened and closed his races. (meaning fractions for those who do not know) I dislike he has stayed in Cal for all of his races. Cali bred to boot. BUT I love him anyway!

I'm sticking with Uncle Sigh. He caught my attention...and with the additional focus they say he is getting now that he is wearing blinkers...well...I think he is ready. |
